Mountain Goats Super Tuesday Song

I don't know about you guys, but I am getting myself pretty pumped up to vote in today's exciting primary election here in California. The folks at American Public Media were probably in a similar mood when they got one of my favorite bands, The Mountain Goats, to write a song about Super Tuesday called "Down to the Ark."

Song of the Day: The Mountain Goats, "Sax Rohmer #1"

I have a huge soft spot for the Mountain Goats, the lo-fi and insanely prolific band fronted by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. His songs are more like stories — sometimes personal, sometimes about his rotating cast of characters — and his albums are maybe the most literary things I've ever blasted at the gym. The Goats' next album, Heretic Pride, comes out Feb. 19, tackling subjects Read more
